Pre-Production Performance Budgets based upon Production Metrics

Organizations that care about Customer Experience enforce Pre-Production Performance Budgets. Performance Budgets are metrics which limit such things as page size, load time, and any other factor that can impact the users experience. The goal is to either maintain, or better yet, constantly improve your existing Production performance with every release. In this short presentation, using New Relic Synthetics, our business partners at Global Quality Partners, LLC will show you how you can set and enforce Pre-Production Performance Budgets based upon Performance in Production, as part of your normal Continuous Delivery Lifecycle.

Run Scalable Application Backends on AWS

Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, deploy, secure and monitor APIs at any scale. In this session, you’ll find out how you can quickly declare an API interface and connect it to any public HTTP endpoint, existing web service running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) or code running on AWS Lambda. Amazon API Gateway handles all the tasks involved in accepting and processing up to hundreds of thousands of concurrent API calls, including traffic management, authorization and access control, monitoring, and API version management. Join us for this introductory session to Amazon API Gateway.

From Pets to Cattle to Bacteria

We see a move of servers move from virtualization (cattle) to process separators (bacteria). What will the impact be to have servers that last only last as long a single process? At New Relic, we have customers monitoring Docker containers that last 5 minutes or less. How can organizations plan, develop and operate software in this environment? I’ll provide insights we gathered from our customers and from our own internal use of containers and short-lived servers.
